Tour Description
For some the thought of being hundreds of feet in the air in a helicopter is not something that comes to mind when planning their vacation, but for others the thrill of an excursion such as this one is simply too much to resist. The tour begins by departing from the Honolulu airport and making a pass over Waikiki’s shoreline where it’s easy to spot the clash between the bustling metropolis of Honolulu and the pristine white sand beaches where tourists frolic in the sunshine.
Leaving the highrises of Honolulu your pilot will take you around Oahu’s leeward coast where you will observe views of Diamond Head, Koko Head, and Makapuu Point Lighthouse. Following the coast to the windward side of the island will take you over Kailua Beach and the famous natural landmark known as Chinaman’s Hat. As you enter Oahu’s famous jungle valleys you will get to enjoy views of Kaaawa Valley (Jurassic Valley) and Sacred Falls, which few visitors experience because the falls are closed to the public. No helicopter tour of Oahu is complete without seeing the legendary surf breaks on Oahu’s North Shore and Waimea Bay before heading over Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial.
